In our obsession with the Khans and Kapoors of Bollywood, we seem to have ignored another filmy family whose work is actually worth our time and praise - the Deols.

The same goes for Khans - Aamir, SRK, Saif and Salman.Įven the new crop of actors are star kids from these families - Janhvi Kapoor, Suhana Khan, Sara Ali Khan, etc. If you are NOT a Sunny fan, you will become a Sunny fan after you see Ghayal with an open mind (there was low competition and NOT as much biased media at that time as compared to today).For decades, Bollywood has been dominated by Kapoors and Khans.īe it Anil Kapoor's family or Raj Kapoor's descendants, they share a surname that is synonymous with the glitz and glamour of Bollywood. It would really be awesome if they would pack in much more heavy nonstop action (again realistic and raw) than this first one. I would love to see what its sequel, Ghayal 2, would look like when it comes next year or so (in '08/'09). You can also watch Sunny's other hit action movies like Ghatak, Ziddi, Gadar (all-time blockbuster), and many others as they are also great, but Ghayal is the ultimate action movie (a true classic). I really wish that Santoshi and Sunny work together in some more movies soon, so Sunny can soon rise up to the top, as Santoshi knows how to make a proper action movie with a sensible ending that the audiences would accept. The plot maybe simple, but the lethal combination of Raj Kumar Santoshi's brilliant direction, Sunny Deol's amazing performance (action and acting), and loads of top-class action made Ghayal a major blockbuster. The action scenes are realistic and raw (should be like this always) and mind-blowing. Sunny Deol has done many average/good/great action films since then, which is why he is truly the best action hero in Bollywood after his dad, Dharmendra, but Ghayal is Sunny's best action film to date. Ghayal is definitely one of the best Hindi action films ever (very hard-hitting and totally mind-blowing).
